Fantastic find Steve.

Are we going bulk buy or individual purchases from local dealers? Like Saf says, I'll definately take two.

depending on numbers i will see if we can get a discount, not sure how open dealers are to bulk buys, but worth a try.

 

[Khamsin433]

Mind you at the price they are cheap enough and you then have the issue of distributing them to the guys. I'll give Graypauls in Brum a call and see if I can order over the phone. You are right anyway they probably aren't that open to bulk buys.

 

[Khamsin433]

Just ordered a pair from Graypaul Brimingham. Usual can't replace comments, but he's ordered from factory so let's see what happens.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks again Steve, That's some very useful surfing.

Note that the ebay item has been sitting on the shelf so would be a quicker purchase in case they are no longer available from the factory.

well just had an email back from the states, and despite dropping 50% by the time we take shipping into account the dealer price is still better.

can't believe my local dealer tried to sell me a new key for £250 when you can get a button for a fiver

 

[aliquot]

yep, thats a bit naughty

 

[Khamsin433]

Yeah Brum guy started on that line when I called up.

Looks like it's either an unknown item or not readily available hence the key option. Still comes back to the original thoughts that it's a pants design in this day and age and class of car !

 

[Easyplan66]

Still, if we know about it then so should the dealer, no excuses.

 

[Khamsin433]

Very true, no excuses as it's supposes to be their business.

Or Keith, if they make all strange over postal costs......then get it sent to one buyer and he can stick a 1st class stamp on an envelope to each of the rest of us!!!
